Babelle Theatre and Axis Theatre join creative forces to present a brand-new play about youth connecting with their 'wild side'

"An all-ages romp from the city into the wild"

A bear wanders from the mountains into the city and the poles of wilderness and civilization are flipped! Suddenly, we’re in a alternate city where a misfit teenager named Jo wanders the streets as a ‘wild human’ – having to outrun mobs of agitated animals and escape human conservation officers in order to find her way home. On her adventure, she crosses paths with a crow and some raccoons and through them learns how to reach out and trust others.

Loosely based on the real-life story of a bear that entered downtown Vancouver in the Winter of 2011, All my Friends are Animals is about a young person’s search for belonging in a world that casts her as a ‘wild animal’. Intended for audiences aged 10 and up, this is a playful little piece that ignites a youthful spirit and sense of delight.

One school performance left to book - Friday, February 21! Contact us soon!

About Babelle Theatre

Babelle Theatre is based out of Vancouver, BC and co-directed by Marie Farsi and James Gordon King. The company's mandate is to produce experimental and ambitious theatrical performance work. Their practice, inspired by multiple cultural traditions, aims to push borders of space and language and to assemble the common from the dissimilar.

“Experience it”

"It’s fantastic because what Babelle Theatre chooses not to do is exactly what makes it so compelling. It encourages you to give up what you take for granted about theatre, so that you may actually experience it."
